## The Georgian Framework of Operational Risk Management

Operational risk management is mandatory in Georgia for the financial sector, and its statutory framework lies in the Organic Law on the National Bank of Georgia: the mandate, the supervisory toolkit, the sectoral detail and crisis preparedness. At the same time, the operational-risk framework of international banking supervision is a non-Georgian international standard — the National Bank exercises its localized supervision; outside the financial sector operational risk is not statutorily regulated, and the page carries this framework precisely from the perspective of financial-sector subjects.
